Murder of Wisbech woman Eliza Bibby to feature in two-part 24 Hours in Police Custody

The police investigation into the murder of a woman will feature in a two-part documentary.

Channel 4's 24 Hours in Police Custody will focus on the murder of Eliza Bibby, who was found by a friend, lying in a pool of blood in her home in Wisbech in Cambridgeshire in January 2023.

The 47-year-old had been stabbed several times in the neck.

The episodes follow the Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire and Hertfordshire Major Crime Unit as they investigate the killing.

The investigation discovered a network of drug activity and possible suspects during the hunt for Ms Bibby's killer or killers.

Det Insp Dale Mepstead, who led the investigation, said: "The documentary follows the team from day one through what is a complex and challenging murder investigation.

"It takes the audience through all lines of inquiries as we work to discover who is responsible for Eliza’s death.

"This was a tragic case which really exposes the devastating consequences of drug addiction and my thoughts remain with Eliza’s family."

In November, Jamie Boughen was found guilty of her murder and sentenced to life in prison, serving a minimum of 22 years.

Boughen, 48, of Waterlees Road, Wisbech, denied killing Ms Bibby in interview and said he could not remember what he was doing the night she was murdered.

The episodes will air at 9pm on Monday and Tuesday.
